“We’ll never have another show like this,” Stamos continued in the video, to which Saget jokingly interjected, “My agent told me I’ll never have another show!”
Stamos added of the cast’s bond: “We really love each other… There’s not one fight in six years, we really get along, I look forward to seeing everybody.”
In the caption of the post, Stamos led with a quote that read: “The most lost day in our life is the day we don’t laugh.”
He then penned a short message for his late costar and friend. “It’s hard sometimes Bob without you, but we’ll try. We’ll keep loving and will keep hugging just like you want us to. I can’t believe it’s been a year, time flies when you’re grieving I guess.”
Stamos worked with Saget onFull Housefrom 1987 through 1995. Saget played Danny Tanner on the sitcom, while Stamos played his brother-in-law Jesse Katsopolis. They later both reprised their roles in Netflix’sFuller Housereboot, which ran for five seasons from 2016-2020.
Like with many of his castmates, Saget’s time onFull Houseturned into a decades-long friendship with Stamos and his family. The two oftenwent out on double datestogether and were open about how much their friendship meant to the other.

“But when I really thought about it — Bob did it right. We should all want to ‘Die Alive.’ We don’t want to be filled with regret and remorse, forgotten, and discarded,” Stamos wrote. “We want to be overwhelmed with the privilege of doing what we do best. Bob felt young, energized, grateful and appreciated. He died bright and fierce.”
When Saget waslaid to restduring a private ceremony in Los Angeles on Jan. 14, Stamos published the remarks he made at the funeral in theLos Angeles Timesthat same day.
